Correction - he never SAID that had even one issue with it. Which shouldn't be surprising. George R.R. Martin didn't trash GoT when he had plenty of reasons to. Sapkowski didn't trash Netflix Witcher "adaptation".

Probably because he didn't get enough money from it. And wasn't involved in production. And doesn't like video games. And usually he says openly what he thinks (and still didn't trash Netflix Witcher).Sapko was plenty butthurt about the games though.Sapkowski didn't trash Netflix Witcher "adaptation".

He was butthurt because he'd made the mistake of underestimating how big games are, and had settled for a modest one-time payoff for the rights to use his work - he didn't get a proper percentage. That was a decision he regretted later, when the Witcher games blew up. It's actually quite funny (But I gather CDPR have treated his claim fairly enough, even though they didn't really have to, by rights they could have just lol-ed all the way to the bank )
Stephen King vis-a-vis Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining. Although he still considered it a good work on its own, but he couldn't stand the bastardization of what was one of his most personal novels.Does anyone have examples of authors trashing adaptations of their work when they were released (not decades after)?Reminder that Mike Pondsmith kept shilling this trash game and never had even one issue with it.Reminder that Mike Pondsmith is a massive weeb and he made Teenagers from Outer Space by binging the works of Rumiko Takahashi (the Ranma and Inuyasha lady), then turned it into an RPG.
Sapkowski is a greedy bastard, he didn't have any qualms about criticizing the polish adaptations, probably because they didn't pay him to promote it. If you actually read the interviews with him (that weren't obvious promotion nonsense) about the Netflix production you'd see he didn't exactly have it in high regard either.Correction - he never SAID that had even one issue with it.

depends. as a movie? indeed. as an adaptation? not.Stephen King is a fucking asshole. Kubrick took the work and made it his own, and it is a fucking masterpiece.

Shit ending though. Real fucking cheap.It's only an emotional response on King's part. Otherwise the guy has no issue with adaptations not remaining faithful to the source material, such as the film adaptation of The Mist whose ending King considered to be brilliant.
Yeah, the Mist ending cheapens the whole story. It could have worked to a degree if they had waited a while to reveal the gotcha moment instead of it happening immediately afterwards.Shit ending though.

I'm still waiting for the update that makes the 1 and only playthrough more than 2 hours long.Imagine talking about builds in a game that has no replayability.
Personally like its grimderpiness. Kinda cheap, but it makes sense for the characters in that context. And it works with the rest of the story, with other people having had likewise made bad choices throughout the film in dealing with the eldritch disaster occurring. And unlike some of the latter, the protagonist's final decision isn't an impulsive one and is rationally justified without the hindsight of what's going to happen next.Shit ending though. Real fucking cheap.
It was a mistake on par with not investing millions into bitcoin in 2009.

No. It's "patched" in the most charitable sense of polishing a half shat out stool. But it's not a game. It's still awful. It's still broken.Hey, just dropping in to ask, a year and a half later, did this ever reach anything like a playable state? I don't mean the greatest game ever it was hyped to be ... just, is it a game at all at this point?
Has been playable for a long time on PC (I played it even on release and didn't encounter too many glitches and no gamebreaking bugs, so now there are even less of those and they've likewise added some other QoL features). Still a mediocre experience, but it looks nice as a cyberpunk theme park.Hey, just dropping in to ask, a year and a half later, did this ever reach anything like a playable state?

At least on PC, it's been in a "playable state" pretty much from release. Gameplay-wise, patches haven't and won't make a substantial difference because what's done is done, but if you can have fun with something like Ubisoft Game™, you can have fun with this.Hey, just dropping in to ask, a year and a half later, did this ever reach anything like a playable state?
